Hi all. I have recently updated my ROM on HTC Desire from LeeDrOid V3.0.8.2 to LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5. I have noticed that in this ROM the size of some of the fonts is smaller. Some of them are even too small for me.
I tried to change the font size using "Spare parts", "Font Size" and changing LCD Density but I was not successful to get the same sizes as in the previous ROM.
Here is the screenshot: Font size difference
I was looking in the other threads about font size, but did not find a good answer. Do you have any tips how to achieve this? Thanks!
What i do.. i find a font i like... (various free font websites...) download the ttf and i installed "font Changer" from the market place.. quite a good app.. recommend it..
I had the opposite problem i prefer them smaller (it's not about the size it's what you do with it that counts)
can someone please explain how to change font and size in sense roms?
thanks
Need to be rooted. Font Changer in the market. Works great.

How to reduse font under the icons on the desktop? What file (param. in file) in Rosie.apk or somewere is answers for it?
Yes, Font Changer works fine (needs root).
Anyone know how to change the fonts used in "compose mail", in the mail app?
I'm on the Revolution ROM (Gingerbread), & I think the font is Times New Roman - I'd like it to be Arial (so nobody can tell if I'm sending mail from desktop or mobile )

Interested in same question as the font is too big and the font size settings don't alter it...
Most of us are using the Roboto font from the Ice Cream Sandwich SDK. Here is what Roboto's designer, Christian Robertson, said after the SDK release:
Note that there are still some bugs in the font that has been extracted from the SDK. Many of these have been corrected already, and you can expect to see some fixes to minor kerning issues and some diacritical misalignments.

Source: Roboto is a Four-headed Frankenfont - the article title is by a blogger, not Christian Robertson (who likes his font just fine)
So if all those kerning issues and diacritical misalignments have been pissing you off, here is the final shipped version of the Roboto font from a Galaxy Nexus system dump by el3ctrik. (Full system dump at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19476970&postcount=10)
This is not a flashable zip. These are just the original TTF files. You can install it with an app like Font Changer, or alternatively, replace the files in your /system/fonts folder manually.
This font looks great, love it. Thanks a lot for this!

can't see any differences from the one from the SDK, and they're both labeled as v1.0 when I preview them...
I couldn't tell you what the differences are either. However the file sizes are definitely different (the Galaxy Nexus fonts are about 10k smaller than the SDK). And when I check the font properties in FontCreator, there are some slight differences in the number of glyphs, etc.
Anyway I assume there are differences because the font designer said so. But probably nobody will notice them unless you use use a language with diacritics.
I think the fix is for users of accents (in French, ..) as: é, ù, ç, è,..
A check! (I test as soon as I can).
EDIT :
Well, it's the accents
plz, post CWM version !

I had this in the older version as well...but on this font, when I get new Gmail messages, my entire Gmail inbox becomes bold until I force close the app. I only get it on this font, but someone else had mentioned to me that it happens on Helvetica as well...problem with the font, or Gmail and the way it handles fonts?
can you post the clocktopia font as well...

It might be something wrong with the way you installed the font. If you're using the Font Changer app, go to the "Advanced" tab and check what fonts are set for DroidSans-Bold.ttf and DroidSans.ttf. If you're using some other font app, make sure you have Roboto-Regular.ttf as the DroidSans equivalent and Robot-Bold.ttf as the DroidSans-Bold equivalent.

I don't think there is any update to the numbers. Just get the Clockopia font from my signature.
Thanks. I was reading about this font and rip-offs thing all night. It's my Western font in Firefox
Please keep us updated always!
Hi guys, I am currently on ICS Stunner and in settings>display there is an option to change font size, which i set to small and is perfect for the note screen.
I can't find a similar option on any of the Samsung ICS roms i have tried, meaning fonts are HUGE and does no justice to the note's screen size or resolution.
Is there any way to manually change the font size without changing overall screen density?
I really want my s-pen features back and this is the only thing that's keeping me on AOSP.
Spare parts doesn't change overall font size, best thing i've found is https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwib3JnLnBieGVzLmZvbnRzaXplIl0
My problem with this app is that it doesn't support custom fonts (or so the comments seem to suggest) and i think i read somewhere that this app just installs the default font at varying sizes, something which i could do myself in a few minutes without spending money on a useless app.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: I have also seen this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.bfont&hl=en but it seems to have odd bugs on the Note.
HTC One rooted, I have used Font Installer to change all of the font. However the only font that hasn't changed is the time on the lock sreen. Just curious if anyone knows how to change the time font, or if it's even possible at all....cheers
